“If you want to be critical go ahead, that never accomplices anything.”

Oh boy. Here we go. If you are criticizing the government go ahead, most people (including most americans) have issues with the way government is ran as well.

 

I didn't tell you to leave it be. I said most americans would agree with you. You'll have a hard time boycotting American companies though. Better call your local representative and tell them to invest billions in your own military technology. Better throw that cell phone away, likely has American made electronics or patents in it. The large percentage of technology today comes from American scientists (who work for American companies). Have light bulbs? Electricity? Sorry, you must boycott it.

You owe much of your creature comforts to American companies.

Not true on both accounts. Only an idiot without health care would die if it were preventable. No hospital can refuse life saving treatment. It's against the law, you might go bankrupt after, but you will live. Yeah, I'm sure you can find some extreme examples that only tell half the story, but it is not even close to comparable to the Philippines.

As for the Taliban, well, we provided weapons to the mujahideen who after the Russia-Afghan war went on to form parts of the Taliban. That had nothing to do with Afghanistan or even terrorism there. That was the cold War, we only did to Russia what they did to us in Vietnam.

 

Better the devil you know. Ask the Italians about the Chinese.

Usually when you buy a business you do "control them". If Aussie dentists can offer something better the market would have a place for it. Appears the American dentists are offering something the locals are unable/unwilling to provide. I have to say, this is the first I've heard of that one....maybe Australia is where all our dentists are going because I haven't had an American dentist work on me in the US for the last 10 years. All Iranian, Indian, or Chinese in the US and can't speak a lick of English. Although I thought "ow!" was pretty international and means, "give me another shot".
